Left: showing the fine ponge silk. It is both difficult and wonderful to paint on and each painting is quite unique.
Technique
Similar to painting on 'blotting' paper. The paint continues to move until it dries. To control the movement of the paint, you either have to dry it with a hairdryer as you apply the paint, or make a 'block' with a gutta line drawing, to stop the paint. If a gutta line has 'holes' in it, the paint will stream out and the painting will be ruined! When the painting is completed, the silk is heat treated to fix the colour, washed and heat treated again. It then needs mounting on board so it can be framed. The painting should be very permanent and hopefully last for 100+ years in the right conditions.
